(NEWSER) – "Viral obituaries" arequitetrendythesedays, and they're usually heartwarming—or at least hilarious—but not so in this latest case.

Whoever wrote it says Johnson-Reddick, who died recently at age 78, "spent her lifetime torturing [her eight children] in every way possible," "neglect[ing] and abus[ing]" them while they were young and later "stalk[ing] and tortur[ing] anyone they dared to love."
